[84] Coal liquefaction emits more carbon dioxide than liquid fuel production from crude oil. Mixing in biomass and using CCS would emit slightly less than the oil process but at a high cost. [85] State owned China Energy Investment runs a coal liquefaction plant and plans to build 2 more. [86] In 18th-century America, wealthy people had massive fireplaces in their houses to keep them warm in the harsh winters and to cook large animals. The historic Stratford Hall, near Washington DC, once had a grand fireplace 3.6 meters wide – big enough to cook an ox in whole. Several of these early American fireplaces burned vast logs that had to be hauled into the house by horses. Decarboxylation removes carbon dioxide from the maturing coal and proceeds by reaction such as [39] RCOOH → RH + CO 2

"The Case for Carbon Capture and Storage". Issues in Science and Technology. Vol.XXII, no.1. The deadly London smog was caused primarily by the heavy use of coal. Globally coal is estimated to cause 800,000 premature deaths every year, [134] mostly in India [135] and China. [136] [137] [138] Regional Briefings for the 2018 Coal Plant Developers List" (PDF). Urgewald . Retrieved 27 November 2018. Of the factors involved in coalification, temperature is much more important than either pressure or time of burial. [21] Subbituminous coal can form at temperatures as low as 35 to 80°C (95 to 176°F) while anthracite requires a temperature of at least 180 to 245°C (356 to 473°F). [22]McGhee, George R. (2018).

The use of coal in the United Kingdom declined as a result of the development of North Sea oil and the subsequent dash for gas during the 1990s. In Canada some coal power plants, such as the Hearn Generating Station, switched from coal to natural gas. In 2017, coal power in the US provided 30% of the electricity, down from approximately 49% in 2008, [230] [231] [232] due to plentiful supplies of low cost natural gas obtained by hydraulic fracturing of tight shale formations.

Formidable fireplaces were fashionable on this side of the pond, too. In the old castle of the Marksburg on the Rhine in Germany is an example of a medieval walk-in fireplace. This huge open fire was roomy enough to cook a whole deer inside, and no doubt radiated a lot of warmth in the process. The same can be said about the vast Tudor fireplaces in the kitchens at Hampton Court Palace in London. Coking coal should be low in ash, sulfur, and phosphorus, so that these do not migrate to the metal. [76]If your local authority has declared the area a Smoke Control Zone under the Clean Air Act 1993, you will have to ensure any fuel you use is approved as smokeless or that your appliance can burn without producing smoke and is therefore exempt. Wood and standard bituminous coal are not authorised fuels, so if you want to burn them you need to ensure you are using an exempt appliance. Hvistendahl, Mara (13 December 2007).
